Abstract

Our recent research on surface mode optical microcavities based on two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) was reviewed in this paper. We presented the design, fabrication and characterization of high quality (Q) factor surface mode microcavities. Realizations of these PhCs were based on both amorphous silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures and crystalline SOI structures.
